Liu Er unloaded himself on time and on time, without showing any nostalgia or attachment.
Perhaps "nostalgia" and "sentiment" are both unique to human beings.
The young man was very sad.
He couldn't let go of the incident for several days, let alone go to work.
But in that space city, all "work" is assigned by the management AI. The management AI will divide a large project into countless simple small tasks that "one person can complete in a short time", and the rewards are all single tasks
Calculation is carried out. So as long as the boy refuses the job assigned to him by the AI, he will not be recorded as absent from work.
The boy is suspended in his room like this - the weak gravity of the space city makes this kind of thing commonplace. Humanity has not developed the technology of artificial gravity, but the basic human transformation surgery and prosthetics can allow humans to ignore the long-term space life zone
negative impacts.
The boy was like this, neither touching the ground, nor touching the ceiling, nor leaning against the wall. He was just floating in the room.
——What did you send?
- Nothing seemed to happen. I didn't experience anything.
Liu Er told a story about the "Chinese Room" to a young boy a long time ago. This story assumes that there is a sealed room in which a person who only speaks English is. This person who only speaks English carries a book with him.
There are books written with Chinese translation programs. There are enough manuscript papers, pencils and cabinets in the room. Paper pieces written in Chinese are sent into the room through the small window.
The person in the room can use his book to translate these words and reply in Chinese. Although he does not know Chinese at all, through this process, the person in the room who only speaks English can make anyone outside the room think that he can speak Chinese.
.
But in fact, "the person who speaks Chinese in the room" is just a fictional image created by people outside the room, and such a person does not exist.
Liu Er is not a human being. Some AIs are like this...things that make people think they are human. This "not human thing" carries a book "How to Speak Human" with him. And everything about Liu Er's personality
, are all imagined by the young man himself.
He just lost a tool that the developers thought was not very useful.
From this point of view, the boy should have nothing to lose.
Just like the more than a thousand days and nights since he left his father, nothing happened in these few days.
but……
The young man's hands were undoubtedly pressed against his face. Unknowingly, his fingers became harder and harder.
He felt like there was something wrong with his face.
It wasn't until his eyes went dark that the young man realized that he had accidentally destroyed his prosthetic eye.
Because of some bug... he felt that there was something wrong with the nerve signals transmitted from the outside of the prosthetic eye to the brain. But that should have nothing to do with the visual center. His instinct felt that this should not be done, so he tried to touch the eye with his hand.
In the next six months, the boy connected the camera to the connector and relied on those external optical devices to move.
This period of time can be said to be long or short. During this period of time, he has been viewing his walking, sitting and lying from a third party's perspective.
It was as if it wasn't his own body. He was just playing a third-person game with a fixed perspective.
In such chaotic days, the young man's mind seemed to be in chaos.
——It’s true... obviously nothing happened...
he thought.
This place is "hell where nothing happens."
More than half a year later, he got a new pair of eyes.
It may be that the new model of artificial eyes is too different from the previous one. When he regained the "first-person perspective", he felt that his vision had changed and he could not go back to the past.
This space city society that operates as precisely as a machine is already a "hell where nothing happens." In this place, humans cannot even protect their souls with imaginary stories.
Before being strong enough to face all the cruelty of reality, human beings can build imaginary stories into eggshells, use this eggshell to protect their hearts, and wait for the moment when their wings become full. Some anthropology scholars believe that human beings are just because of
"Story" has become the most powerful species on earth.
But these cities don't even have room for stories.
Many years later, the boy grew into a young man. He left this city and went to the Dream City in the asteroid belt.
Here, he came into contact with "chivalry" for the first time.
For a period of time, the youth was the "technical staff" among that generation of knights. He was somewhat famous and even published a little research. At least 62 was an effective AI to encourage learning. The foundation of the youth was quite good.
.
But not long after, the young man realized a problem.
The knight wants to establish a "modern society" with strict order and closer to what it was before "Secret War".
The young man was horrified by this. He thought of his childhood.
Under the current system, human beings can create such... that kind of hell without a story.
Isn't the "modern society" in the knight's ideal more harsh?
From this moment on, the young man gradually broke away from chivalry.
And his activities at the academic level also attracted the attention of another mysterious force.
Many years later, he took over the task of "entering the green forest".
He doesn't seem to hate Green Forest that much. Although Green Forest is stupid, Green Forest has a lot of stories.
It's a pity that he has never been like a green forest.
The man didn't notice this until he was about to die.
Perhaps because he noticed this, the memory that he had almost forgotten was rekindled.
Tianji Sanren wants people to know these things.
"That kind of division of labor and cooperation separates people from their own labor. The connection between people is no longer important." Tianji Sanren said, "The joys and sorrows of human beings are no longer connected with their own lives. Such a world
, it’s just hell.”
"And living as a green forest is very happy, really happy. Just like a carefree barbarian, a carefree life, full of spirit."
"If humans develop civilization in order to have a better future for themselves, then I can say that on this trajectory, humans will not be happy."
"As an exploration of the green forest..."
"As long as Green Forest can overcome its own shortcomings..."
"This is equivalent to using technological means to re-evolve the superstructure of the entire civilization from the hunting and gathering era."
Xiangshan slowly pulled out the storage device: "That's right. Modernization... The first modernization of mankind is brilliant and great, but the first modernization of mankind is also a piece of shit. Although your words are wrong, they are not wrong either.
It doesn’t make any sense at all.”
"For the sake of the information you provided, I took note of it."
